The Sutra of Perfect Enlightenment teaches how one can reach the goal of Buddhist enlightenment in the form of questions and answers between the Buddha and his disciples, and was listed as a requisite for monastic curriculum. The Gangyeongdogam oversaw its Korean translation and publication. The red stamp “corrected” on one of the pages indicates that this copy was used to correct remaining errors after the first run of its printing.
